What is a krait? Actually, a krait is not a humanoid wolverine. There is a reason why there's a humanoid wolverine over this text and I AM getting to it. Just hold on. Okay, krait. A krait is a smallish, drab looking snake that lives in India. It tends to get stepped on a lot. Unfortunately, not only does the krait tend to get stepped on a lot, it is also somewhat more poisonous than the cobra and tends to get irratable when it get stepped on. Eh heh, anyway, that's a krait. Not that I'm a whole lot like a krait. I just think it's fun to say. Krait. Kraaaaiiiiit. I actually like the taipan better for sheer cool factor, but Tai-pan is also this warlord or something, so anyway.

Krait is one of my characters. He's the, er, wolverine dude at the top of the page. He's also my symbol of boredom. Let me explain . . . (sit down, this will take a while)

You might be kinda familiar with Rafael Don at this point. He's the somewhat unlucky, relunctant fellow who occasionally shows up in the comics? Remember him? Ah, good. Rafael Don was originally created as a Redwall character, then quickly implemented as a X-men character, then finally getting his own little private storyline. In short, you could say that there are three versions of Rafael. The last one (the "private" one) is the official version of Rafael. The other two developed very differently. Let's just say, quickly, that the Redwall Raf is a skittish, somewhat cowardly and very aloof character and Krait Raf (the X-men version) is a brooding and solitary one. And now I'm going to move on immediately to the Krait Raf, as this is his page and I'm running out of time.

Krait started out as a nervous, but sweet character (or so I've been told), who happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time, met a few of the wrong people, and, in short, ended up in the Brotherhood. Of course, I love the Brotherhood, but Krait wasn't, er, tempermentally suited for it. He kept getting beat up. I wonder why. Anyway, he wasn't a wolverine thing at the beginning. He was a shrimpy little guy, but he was, er, human. Yes. Anyway, over the course of a month or so, he started to work out, get a little tougher . . . and then I had to leave on vacation, so I got drastic (something I always do when I go on vacation for some reason) and Krait got into a fight where he got stabbed. So, he had to go to the hospital and, because of the nature of his power (which I'll discuss some other time, it's complicated) it was pretty obvious he was a mutant.

So, when I got back, nothing much was happening in the egroup Raf was in and I got bored. And a little perverse. See, I'd read part of the Ultamate X-men comic arc where Beast gets altered to be blue and hairy and stuff and I thought, "Gee, that happens to the X-men a lot. Get into the wrong hands, get genetically altered, yadda yadda." So, almost as a spoof, I did something like that to Krait, and it got out of hand. Next thing I knew, he was this wolverine thing (Get the joke, get it?) and not very happy about it. So, he's all depressed now and because time in that group moves very slowly, he hasn't been a genetically altered beast thing for very long. So, he's still very touchy. Not quite as nice as he was before. Doesn't get beat up a lot, though. I feel rather guilty about it, for some amorphous reason, but there's no way to get him back to his normal state without cheating, which I really do try not to do . . . so. That's Krait. More than you ever wanted to know, huh.
